<p style="text-align: center;">Made a new NAV Type Beat. I should really call it "Call Me" Type Beat and add metro boomin in the title because it was really inspired by their mashup. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Steps/Process to create the beat</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>1. </strong>I started with a few chords to set up the ambiance of the instrumental. I then added a melody and then a counter melody on top of that. Next I thought that a clap/snare would fit perfectly so I found a sound that fits in well and hence I used it. In the beginning I added a filter and volume automation on the snare, it just adds to the movement I rekon. For the melodies and ambient synth I used 100% MASSIVE, no nexus unfortunately. I better get some new sounds soon aye. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>2.</strong> I added a basic 808 bass pattern that fits with the root note of the melody. I then added some slides for that extra omphf. I do feel like I could put the 808 at a higher bass note, but nav likes his deeper bass notes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>3.</strong> Next I layered everything out, mixed it a bit. If you wanna mix i recommend putting everything to mono from stereo and then work on the leveling from there, it's all about volume leveling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Thats it gang shee it is what it is</p>

<p>Quick update on what I've been up to. So far building a website + finding a grad job has been very challenging. I'm at the point right now where I've been concentrating on trying to find a good grad job to set up for next year, hence the slow uploads. I've been getting a few interviews but no follow through, Next week though I have an assessment center/ interview with a big blasting company/ distributor for their graduate program and I've been preparing for that. I will definitely get it. </p>
<p>Now on music, I've seem to come across a "beat block", but I want to redefine my personal block as having a "boredom" for the current sounds I have. As I've previously stated, I have a big love for NEXUS 2 and MASSIVE, however I need to expand my sounds to get into the vibe more. Either that or all of this job hunting got me stressed out hahaha.</p>
<p>Anyways, that's pretty much it. I really feel for the current and recent grads who weren't lucky enough to land a position at the company they wanted, but hey we all learn. Hope my area gets NBN soon, GANG SHEE SQUA SHEEE LESS GOOO.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Hello music lovers. I'm Joey or "Katabok". This post will outline what I did in 2017 (as a instrumental music maker) to protect and ContentID my beats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>1.</strong> Signed up for both AdRev and Audiam (AdRev account takes longer to process)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>2.</strong> AdRev takes 20% off videos that use your music for admin costs but you keep 100% of your monetisation from your videos on your channel. Audiam takes 25%, but you can get your account up and running in a few days (by up and running I mean uploading your music to their content ID system, it only takes a few days to get your ID "verified" in comparison to AdRev which I applied for 1-2 months ago and still haven't gotten the green light yet holla at yo boy...).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>3.</strong> Start Uploading to Audiam while waiting for my AdRev account to get verified.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Audiam/AdRevwill notify you if anyone's using your music. It will give the people using your music a "copyright notice" which is different from "copyright strike". AdRev will also notify you if someones using your music. Now here comes the "issue", someone using your music who has the right licenses will have to dispute the copyright claim on YouTube with sufficient evidence.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I found a nice article on audio jungle which sums up <strong>how to dispute claims</strong> (https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/204484680-Buyers-Guide-to-YouTube-Content-ID-Copyright-Notices ). The article uses an AdRev claim an example, I assume the same dispute method would work for Audiam.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'm new to this myself, there should be more info on this topic because there's a lot off people selling their souls out here lol. I think Beatstars takes a 25% cut as well just like Audiam, but if you content ID <strong>YOUR</strong> MUSIC <strong>YOURSELF</strong> no one can fuccs wit you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>4.</strong> Once I get verified on AdRev I'll start uploading music to Adrev because they take a smaller cut (20%)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>5.</strong> Don't content ID the same beat on two different platforms (read your terms and conditions), whatever I content ID on Audiam stays at Audiam, I wouldn't ContentID my beats with AdRev unless I've cleared my beats out of Audiam's servers first. (TBH I cbf removing my beats from Audiam to move them to AdRev just to save 5% hehe).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">If anyone (Producer/Beatmaker/Music Artist) is still iffy on the whole content ID thing please check out this article (https://www.safemusiclist.com/adrev-copyright-claims-music-buyers/ ). TLDR if you don't content ID your shit someone eventually will. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">New instrumental album coming out!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>http://www.katabok.com/blog/post/simple/2017-08-12T20:23:11+08:00Rapping and Singing on my Metro Boomin type FREE BEAT &quot;Live a life&quot; with Instrumental <p style="text-align: center;">Hello music lovers. I'm Joey or "Katabok".</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">TODAY I want to talk about a NEW BEAT I MADE called "Live A Life".</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Step 1. </strong>After the making of video for one of my beats "Long Story", I decided to have a crack at another "making of" type beat (lol). So here I am after driving my mum off to work, inspired with a 160 - 170 bpm beat idea (Final beat is at 170BPM). Same formula, I messed around with the NEXUS synths, creating a somewhat guitar sounding synth after utilising the filter vst. I messed around with a piano arpeggio I randomly made up and then added gross beat, nek min, walah we get the sad gloompy piano melody which is then supported by a flute sample obtained from Disney's Snow white and the seven dwarves. I then added a light snare and infused a lot of claps into this beat which is very unusual for me, I guess i started to impliment this "clap trap pattern" after listening and furiously meditating on "Nav - Some Way". As usual, I added a basic drum trap pattern to the whole main melody.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Step 2. </strong>I have two high hats in this beat, one maintaining a fixed trap tempo whilst the other compliments the tempo with a "808 Mafia" type stuttering high hat in the background (you can see what I mean as this process is similar to "Long Story"). After my sudden relisation of my shit mixing skills in the past few weeks, I have taken time to learn about "compression", thought I admit I'm no expert, I can say that I did quite well in mixing my kicks with the whole beat as well as adding a unique "Katabok sounding kick" (If I dare say so). In this beat I utilised two differnt kicks, one kick will include it's "high frequency" and the other kick's "high frequency" will be cut off.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Step 3. </strong>With the BASS, I made sure to use the same 808 kick I used for "Stay Longer". This 808 bass is also known as a 808 Kick which includes a "kick" in the beginning followed by the 808 sound. Yep that's pretty much in, I made a random song afterwards using some lyrics, I can't do free style so I don't dare call myself a rapper. Anyways holla at yo boy, it is what it is.</p>
